2. ConnectthetwistedpairsegmenttotheswitchbyinsertingtheRJ45connectoronthe
twistedpairsegmentintothedesiredRJ45port(forexample,Port8).

3. VerifythatalinkexistsbycheckingthattheLink/ActivityLEDisON(solidgreenor
blinkinggreen).IftheLink/ ActivityLEDis
OFF,performthefollowingstepsuntilitis
on:
a. VerifythatthecablingbeingusedisCategory 5orbetterwithanimpedance
between85and111 ohmswithamaximumlengthof100meters(328feet).
b. Verifythatthedeviceattheotherendofthetwistedpairsegmentisonand
properlyconnectedtothesegment.
c. VerifythattheRJ45connectorsonthetwistedpairsegmenthavetheproper
pinoutsandcheckthecableforcontinuity.Typically ,acrossovercableisused
betweenhubdevices.Astraight‐throughcableisusedtoconnectbetween
switchesorhubdevicesandanenduser
(computer).RefertoFigure 3‐14and
Figure 3‐15forfour‐wireRJ45connections.RefertoFigure 3‐16andFigure 3‐17
foreight‐wireRJ45connections.
d. Ensurethat thetwistedpairconnectionmeetsthedBlossandcablespecifications
outlinedintheCablingGuide.Referto“RelatedDocuments”onpage xvifor
informationonobtainingthisdocument.
4. Ifalinkisnotestablished,contactEnterasys Networks.Refer to“GettingHelp”on
page 1 ‐8fordetails.
Repeatallstepsaboveuntilallconnectionshavebeenmade.
